I wonder if the Braves will “promote” the cream alternate to primary home (and either keep cream or make it white) and then make a road grey to match. So basically a set pretty close to what they wore in ‘66:

The Braves have formally acknowledged the change (previously the note was buried in an event description on the adjacent property outside the ballpark, the Battery).

Notice how they use the plural “uniforms” as well as “refreshed.” That definitely suggests existing uniforms will be updated. If that’s the case, then I’ll be hoping for some consistency across the board. The two primary sets have the classic triple striping. The navy jersey has no striping with a tonal script, while the pants have a single stripe. The cream throwback uses a single stripe.

I’m guessing this is where they’ll drop the tomahawk. Use the cream throwback as the base design and build around that (probably white instead of cream, though). Use a similarly themed gray set. Perhaps a navy blue alternate, but I would prefer to see either a red or white script instead of navy on navy. No red jersey. I would limit it to only the navy cap with the red bill. Maybe a throwback mixed in. Keep it simple.

I don't think the tomahawk will be dropped.. no need for that honestly. As we saw with last year's spring training cap, they're going to feature it in any which way they like. I don't think it's a complete overhaul, but some consistency with piping and maybe a few tweaks here and there.

The Nationals already have the patriotic stars and stripes theme. The Indians are becoming as bland as possible. So are the Red Sox and Twins. I think the Braves will differentiate from them without going overboard, as we still have one of the more iconic uniforms in MLB.

I'm hoping for a new Navy Jersey That has the Headspoon Piping to match the white and grey jerseys, and a Red script "Braves" with Red Tomahawk. I like the current Navy, but would prefer it to be more along the lines of the other jerseys.

I also hope for a new Red, more similar to the previous one and not the Stars/Stripes version.

This would make their whites and reds for home, and grey and navys for away games, with the red or navy jerseys limited to once or twice a week.

Doesn't look promising. Unless, of course, he's not wearing the new uniform.

Yeah, I mean, they call their fan fest "Chop Fest."

Unless the home uniform has zero changes, he’s not wearing the new uniform. That’s the exact same primary jersey. Also, the Braves have been using those same GIFs on social media for a few years now. 95% sure that’s just a recycled GIF.
